THE MAFIA'S PENANCE

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION

My gaze turned to a passageway, the hallway was inside my house, I was walking down with something in my hand. A long barrel gun that felt very heavy in my hand carried it.

My steps stopped at a door. When I opened the door by pushing it rough, suddenly the light that appeared from inside the room attacked me until I woke up from sleep.

My breath gasps with my heart beating fast. It turns out I just had a dream.

"What's wrong?" Vernon asked who had just walked out of the clothes room after hearing my voice slightly groan when he woke up.

Vernon turned on the light and walked up to the bed looking at me. His gaze looked anxious, but seeing him who had just walked out of the clothing room made me become a little angry.

I don't know why I couldn't accept that Vernon was just looking at a picture of a woman named Wynetta that he kept in that dress room. I feel a sense of jealousy right now. I know that Vernon loves that woman so much and can't forget her yet, but right now I'm pregnant, and I just want Vernon to take care of me.

"Why shut up? Are you dreaming?" Vernon asked holding my face with his left hand. "Viv—"

"Why are you in there? You should sleep with me here!!" My misery.

It seems like my pregnancy is making me change right now. I became more sensitive and wanted Vernon's attention more, I didn't know if this was normal or not. But for sure I feel jealous when I see Vernon coming out of the clothes room while it's only one o'clock at night.

"I just got a call just now." Answer Vernon. "Viv, I'll go now, you just sleep."

I held Vernon's arm. Sure enough, now he intends to leave me alone while before I have told him that he must take care of me 24 hours when I was pregnant with his child.

"No, you can't go anywhere!! You promised you'd take care of me, right? Where are you going at midnight like this? I don't want to know, I want you here!!" I was mixed with annoyance.

For a moment Vernon just looked at me and did not answer my call. He seemed to be thinking about something right now.

"All right, go to sleep now." Vernon laid his body beside me. "Go to bed, Viv."

Without thinking any more, I who was still sitting directly approached Vernon and went into his arms. Because it felt so comfortable, it didn't take long for me to get into sleep.

The sound of the door opening made me open my eyes. A waiter came into my room with food for me to eat. I'm looking for Vernon's whereabouts, but he doesn't exist. It seems like he left after I fell asleep. It makes me upset.

"Where's Vernon?" I asked the waitress who was about the end of 40. She is Gloriana the butler of this house, and yesterday I also just found out if that is her name.

"Since four o'clock in the morning you're gone, madam." Gloriana said, Put the food in the bucket and walked to open the curtain that was still closed.

"No, don't open it!! I can't stand the sunlight." I stopped the waiter from pulling the curtain so he closed it again.

"When the sunshine is good, madam."Answer Gloriana. "Mrs want breakfast now or later? It's almost eight."

"Master asked me to make sure you had breakfast, madam. At this time the mistress is pregnant, it's best that the madam is not late to eat." Answer Gloriana. "It's also been over breakfast."

"That's right Viv, you have to have breakfast." Renata came and went straight inside to get to me. "There's another life in your womb right now, so you can't be selfish."

"Why are you here?" I was amazed at Renata's presence.

"Art asked me to look at your situation. He's very worried about you." Renata answered bringing my breakfast and putting it on the bedside table. "You better have breakfast now. Vern would also want you to have breakfast for worrying about you and your son." Renata sat by the bed with a bowl of asparagus soup in my breakfast menu.

"Alright madam, I'm out first." Gloriana said with a polite body gesture and after that walked out of the room.

Renata fed me with a smile. Like Arthur, Renata loves me too. I'm also very happy that yesterday he contacted Vernon until the man came and brought me back.

"Ren, thank you." I looked at Renata but realized that I shouldn't have said that thank you to her.

"So it's true that you don't really want to part with Vernon?" Ask Renata.

The question made me turn my eyes while thinking about the answer. At first I really wanted to separate from Vernon but it seemed like my pregnancy made me not want it to happen and instead, I wanted to continue being with my husband.

"Look at you I want to get pregnant, too, but baby, Art doesn't want to have children anytime soon, and we're not even married." Grieved Renata and made me laugh. "Hopefully you're not like this because of your pregnancy Viv, I wish you and Vernon loved each other."

Is it possible that Vernon and I love each other? However I know that Vernon does not love me, nor do I. My current situation must be just because of my pregnancy so that it makes me feel like I love her. Likewise with Vernon, she was nice to me for sure because I was pregnant with her child. If I hadn't been pregnant she would have acted with me as usual.

How could she have changed her attitude towards me, while Vernon said that I was the one who caused the death of the woman he loved. The only reason for her kind attitude towards me is just because I'm pregnant with her child, and I'm going to take advantage of that.

"You know, Vern handed over Genoa to Arthur while yesterday he desperately took it from Sacra Unita. It wasn't something he could do easily because his uncle would be angry when he found out." Renata.

"What do you mean Ren?" I tried to understand what Renata said.

"Have it, it doesn't seem to matter either. The most important thing is that you take care of your baby. Even if you don't love each other but still the child is your child. Vernon will also take care of you because he wants the boy. That's why he came yesterday and took you with him."

"Ren, last night I had a dream about something. I don't know why that dream feels so real." I was reminded of a dream last night that woke me up with my heart racing. "I walked in the hallway of my house with a long gun. Why is it so real, because I did not see myself carrying the weapon but in the dream the point of view was myself. But when I opened a room a very bright light came out and made me wake up."

"really?" Look Renata.

"It doesn't seem like a dream." My word. "What was I before I lost my memory?"
